Officially Voted the Best Pet Photographer in San Diego, 2014-2026.
Owen is a recent graduate of Best Paw Forward dog training, which is actually how I met him! He passed the beginner and advanced-level courses with flying colors (or so I’m told), and so getting him to sit and stay during our session was really not difficult. Or at least, it was easy compared to previous – um – over-enthusiastic pups I’ve photographed in the past! (No, I’m not naming names.)
I just love beautiful, rich brindle coloring on a handsome dog! Enjoy a few photos of this good-looking boy.
Owen has gorgeous eyes!
This is the mischievous look Owen flashed us right before taking off down the beach toward another dog…
But how can you be mad at this happy, happy face?
Thanks, Kathy! I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek!

I was so thrilled to hear that The Spotted Dog was opening its doors in Pensacola last month! This city is certainly overdue for a dog boutique. The Spotted Dog is co-owned by Sandy and Ashley, a fabulous mom-and-daughter duo, and I can’t tell you how incredible their shop is! For being brand new, they certainly seem to know exactly what all kinds of people want – whether it’s rugged leather collars for your mastiff or cute spring dresses for your schnoodle… Okay, I know I sound like a commercial by now, but seriously. This boutique rocks my socks off.
Even better: Sandy and Ashley let me photograph their dogs! So we spent a bit of time in the studio, and a bit of time back at the shop. Ashley (the daughter) has Bentley the dark brown pit bull, and Bunny, the white-as-a-ghost inspiration for the name “The Spotted Dog”! Can you see her spots? Sandy (the mom) owns Lana the playful pit bull and Tiger, the old shepherd.
Here are a few of their images!
A somewhat silly family portrait!
Lana actually has completely normal ears. But she wanted to look extra cute for her pictures, so they went flying!
Las but not least – a goofy outtake from our session! There were a few good caption ideas for this photo on Facebook!
Leave a comment on this post if you’ve got a funny caption!
I also wanted to include a short video I made for them, featuring their product offerings. Don’t they have a beautiful store?
So there you have it – a new part of Pensacola that I’m personally very excited about. You should definitely stop in sometime soon!

Here are a bunch of photos from my shoot with the super-active Seuss and Nika on Sunday! You can tell they truly love each other; Nika is a pit bull puppy and while she was constantly exploring, she never strayed too far from Seuss the Dalmation- and he definitely watches out for her!
Here are just a few of the pictures- enjoy! And thanks for a great time, Whitney and Morgan!
